Rated 4 out of 5 by 2hockeygods Nice Jacket
My husband loves his new jacket. It looks nice on him and he said it is very warm. He does have some difficulty getting the zipper pull started.

Keeps me warm in the wind as well. Very comfortable. Love that dirt just brushes off of it with my hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tuiger This is one good looking, tough coat!
This coat is not only great looking but tough as buffalo hide. I live in SD, where it gets mighty cold and the wind never seems to stop blowing. This coat sheds the rain, snow and wind doesn't seem to get through it. Whether you wear it out in the pasture or into town----you always look great!! I have a lot of coats but this is my favorite!

i am really happy with this Oilskin jacket.
I use it a a barn coat and have ridden in it. Sheds water well,. Good insulation without being too hot to work in. Long enough and unsnaps up the sides so I can cover the saddle's cantle.
Unlike my usual barn coats, it is stylish enough for town.

This jacket is perfect. I looked everywhere for a rugged leather type jacket and this one fits the bill perfectly. Looks good during the day and even better when going out at night. Warm, rugged and attractive. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WindyCityCowboy Great jacket with a Western look you'll love
Be prepared for compliments when wearing this jacket. Top it with your cowboy hat, jeans and boots and you're dressed to kill.
Earlier this year, I bought the XL size of Outback Trading Co.'s Oilskin Rancher Jacket. This jacket does a great job of keeping me warm in Chicago and well as on frequent trips to my Colorado family home.
By early fall, I'd lost enough weight that I no longer took XL sizes, so I gave the original jacket to a family member and bought the L size of this jacket for myself.
Oddly enough, the Large size has an extra pocket that the Extra Large doesn't. This vertically zippered pocket is located on the left interior just inside the jacket's main zipper. The pocket has an elastic loop to hold a cellphone or wallet, and has a pen loop, too.
I have no idea why this handy pocket is not included in the XL size. The special pocket is easier to quickly reach, but its absence in the XL wasn't a big deal, since even without the special pocket, I found that the jacket has enough pockets, anyway.
Keep in mind the comments about letting the jacket air out a bit to allow evaporation of any excess oil applied during manufacture. Outback Trading Co. recommends using a hairdryer if you want to expedite the process. I just let mine sit in the closet for a couple of weeks during a warm spell when I didn't need a jacket.

Rated 4 out of 5 by skiger Watch the collar
I really like the jacket. It's warm and water repellant. The only thing I didn't catch was the excess oil on the collar. I wore it and later discovered two shirts that had oil stains on their collars. The stains couldn't be removed. Other than that it's a great jacket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Plateauhiker Rugged wear and great looks
The Outland Trading Co. Oilskin outer wear is comfortable, rugged, and looks great. I have both the coat and vest and get asked quite often where I purchased them.
